Human digestive system

1.
The Human Digestive System

2.
2. Name and give the functions of the different digestive organs. 3. Describe how some accessory organs and glands aid the body in the digestion process. 4. Explain the process of digestion. 1. Give and explain the functions of the digestive system.

8.
Esophagus <ul><li>It is a mucus muscular membrane lined tube. </li></ul><ul><li>There occurs a process known as Peristalsis . </li></ul>Peristalsis: It is an involuntary process of muscular contraction forcing the bolus (food) down to the stomach.

9.
Stomach <ul><li>The stomach is a hollow, muscular holding pouch for food. The stomach has three main regions: </li></ul><ul><ul><li>The fundus </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>The body </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>The pylorus </li></ul></ul><ul><li>The food enters this part of the stomach from the esophagus. The esophageal (cardiac) sphincter, a circle of muscular tissue, surrounds the place where the esophagus enters the stomach and keeps food from going back up the esophagus after it has entered the stomach </li></ul>In humans, the stomach has a relaxed volume of about 45 ml, it generally expands to hold about 1 litre of food, but can hold as much as 4 liters.

10.
Small Intestine <ul><li>The small intestine, which is about 20 feet long, is so named because its diameter is much smaller than that of the large intestine. The small intestine has three regions, called the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum </li></ul>

11.
<ul><li>The small intestine extends from the pyloric sphincter to the ileocecal valve, where it empties into the large intestine. The small intestine finishes the process of digestion, absorbs the nutrients, and passes the residue on to the large intestine. The liver, gallbladder, and pancreas are accessory organs of the digestive system that are closely associated with the small intestine. </li></ul><ul><ul><li>The most important factor for regulating secretions in the small intestine is the presence of chyme. This is largely a local reflex action in response to chemical and mechanical irritation from the chyme and in response to distention of the intestinal wall. This is a direct reflex action, thus the greater the amount of chyme, the greater the secretion. </li></ul></ul>Small Intestine

13.
<ul><li>Amino acids and simple sugars like glucose, </li></ul><ul><li>fructose diffuse through thin Epithelial cells into </li></ul><ul><li>the blood capillaries. </li></ul><ul><li>Fatty acids and glycerol enter the Lacteal into </li></ul><ul><li>the lymphatic system then finally into the blood </li></ul><ul><li>system through the Innominate vein. </li></ul>Villi

14.
Absorption of the majority of nutrients takes place in the jejunum, with the following notable exceptions: <ul><li>Iron is absorbed in the duodenum. </li></ul><ul><li>Vitamin B12 and bile salts are absorbed in the terminal ileum. </li></ul><ul><li>Water and lipids are absorbed by passive diffusion throughout. </li></ul><ul><li>Sodium is absorbed by active transport and glucose and amino acid co-transport. </li></ul><ul><li>Fructose is absorbed by facilitated diffusion. </li></ul>

15.
Large Intestine The large intestine is the last part of the digestive system—the final stage of the alimentary canal—in vertebrate animals. Its function is to absorb water from the remaining indigestible food matter, and then to pass this useless waste material from the body. The large intestine consists of the cecum and colon. It starts in the right iliac region of the pelvis, just at or below the right waist, where it is joined to the bottom end of the small intestine. From here it continues up the abdomen, then across the width of the abdominal cavity, and then it turns down, continuing to its endpoint at the anus. The large intestine is about 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) long, which is about one-fifth of the whole length of the intestinal canal.

17.
Liver <ul><li>It is the largest organ in the mammalian body. </li></ul><ul><li>It secretes bile which is stored in the gall bladder . </li></ul><ul><li>Bile breaks down fats into tiny droplets through </li></ul><ul><li>emulsification. </li></ul><ul><li>Roles: </li></ul><ul><li>Regulates sugar/glucose </li></ul><ul><li>Breaks down excess RBC </li></ul><ul><li>Storage of blood </li></ul><ul><li>Detoxification </li></ul><ul><li>Generation of heat </li></ul>

18.
<ul><li>It is an endocrine gland </li></ul><ul><li>because it secretes Insulin </li></ul><ul><li>hormone - converts excess </li></ul><ul><li>glucose into glycogen for </li></ul><ul><li>storage. </li></ul><ul><li>It is also an exocrine gland because it secretes </li></ul><ul><li>pancreatic juice in the duodenum </li></ul><ul><li>- pancreatic juice contains lipase , trypsin and </li></ul><ul><li>pancreatic amylase for digestion of lipids , </li></ul><ul><li>proteins and starch . </li></ul>Pancreas

19.
Salivary Glands <ul><li>The salivary glands are located near the mouth </li></ul><ul><li>They produce and secrete saliva, a substance that helps with chewing and swallowing by moistening the food </li></ul>

20.
Gallbladder <ul><li>The gallbladder is a pear-shaped sac that is attached to the visceral surface of the liver by the cystic duct. The principal function of the gallbladder is to serve as a storage reservoir for bile. Bile is a yellowish-green fluid produced by liver cells. The main components of bile are water, bile salts, bile pigments, and cholesterol. </li></ul><ul><li>Bile salts act as emulsifying agents in the digestion and absorption of fats. Cholesterol and bile pigments from the breakdown of hemoglobin are excreted from the body in the bile. </li></ul>
